Fibrocystic deterioration of the popliteal artery. Apropos of 1 case

: Set off by a sports movement, a subacute ischemia of the lower limb allowed the delayed discovery of a segmental stenosis of the popliteal artery in a young man. It involved a compression by fibro-cystic deterioration of the wall of the artery. Separation of the cyst from the diseased arterial wall was followed by the restoration of circulation by means of an internal saphenous vein graft.
